TERRITORIAL NEWS.

Recent gold discoveries in the west. ern edge of the Superstition mountains are said to be very valuable. One lead 8 feet wide, assays from SIP to S3o. 90 per ton. The Arizonan states that Judge J. D. Reymert has two men at work developing claim there.
 The people of Harshaw want wagon road built across the mountains to the Santa Cruz to connect with the Nogales road. It would cost about $2,coo for the work and the road would open up numerous mines which are now isolated from any public highway.
 The school trustees of this district have shown their good judgment in de- claring in favor of economy by general reduction in teachers salaries. Eighty dollars for twenty days of six hours each is a good compensation, and the teachers all appear to be we'll satisfied with the reduction.-Star.
 Another water storage project has taken definite shape in the matter of the construction of an immense reservoir on Lynx creek, near Prescott, for the pur- poses of grazing, mining and agriculture. Ex-Governor Tritle, and Murphy Bros., and other prominent parties are at the head of the enterprise.
 Arizona mine holders whose properties run low in silver and high in lead are advised to hold on to them for the pres ent at least. There is every prospect that there will be a great demand ere long for such ore for Auxing purposes, and the Grant and Argo smelters at Denver are already offe ring bonus for it.-Enterprise.
 We learn, although not officially, that four of the five Indians who were re- gently tried at San Carlos for the attack upon Captain F. E. Pierce and Chief of Scouts AL Sieber, have been taken ts California, and as is presumed, to prison on Alcatraz, an island in the bay of San Francisco. The fifth one of the offenders is still restrained of his liberty at San Carlos.-Silver Belt.

GOOD WORK.
Sheriff Owens Docs Up a Gang of
 Outlaws,

Outlaws.
 Sheriff Owens of Apache county, and posse, who went to Tonto Basin to ar rest Tewksbury and Graham, were more successful than Sheriff Mulvenon of Pres. colt. About noon on September 4th at Holbrsok, Sheriff Owens of Apache county shot and killed three men and wounded a fouith. The dead men were desperadoes from Tonto Basin, and the Sheriff had warrants for their ar. rest as sheep and cattle thieves. The Sheriff found his men in little shanty at Holbrook, adjoining the livery stable of Brown and Kinders. He ordered the men to surrender and they opened fire on him in an instant. He replied and with fatal precision. In moment three dead desperadoes and the fourth fatally woun- ded attested to the accuracy of Sheriff Owens fire. The names of the men killed are Blevins, Cooper and Roberts and the wounded man is named Blevins, brother of one of the men killed.
 For months a reign of terror has exist ed in the Tonto Basin country of Ari- zona; dozen men have been killed and cattle and sheep stealing has become regular business. The authorities have determined to break up the lawless gangs who are terrorizing the country, and the quick work of Sheriff Owens is good be. ginning.
 Andy Cooper, the man shot by Sheriff Owens, died, and with his half-brother Samuel Blevins, boy of IA, was buried on the 5th. Nose B. Roberts is dying. John Blevins will recover. This makes four of the Blevins family killed within two weeks, a father and three sons. The end is not yet.
 At Coroner's inquest held on the body of Houston Blevins the jury found the following verdict:
 We, the Corener's jury, find that the deceased, Houston Blevins, met his death from gunshot wound by the hands of C. P. Owens, Sher; if of Apache county, A. T., and from the evidence given, we, the jurors, find that the killing was justi6able, the deceased having offer ed armed resistance to the Sheriff, while in the lawful discharge of his duties, while attempting the arrest of one Andy Cooper. D. c. PARvEY, Coroner.
 The entire acts of the Sheriff in the justi6able killing of the above party and Andy Cooper are endorsed by all the re- spectable and law-abiding citizens of Hol- hr0Ok

It Causes the Killing of a Man and
 the Wounding of Another.
 Last Wednesday, Joe Smith, q cow boy employed by Smith & Bodie, went into Bisbee, got on spree, and about 2 o'clock in the morning fired off his six shooter in Clark & Letson's saloon, shooting into the floor. Deputy Sheriff Dan Simons, who was present, went up to him and endeavored to arrest him. Instead of submitting, Smith raised his pistol and fired at the Deputy, the ball passing through his coat sleeve and thence into his left side. Simons then drew his pistol and shot Smith through the heart, causing instant death. Simons was brought into Tombstone Thursday, where his wound was dressed by Dr. Goodfellow, who pronounces it not at all dangerous. The general verdict of the people is that the killing was justi6able. Smith came here about a year ago from Montana, and was represented to be quiet and peaceable when not drinking, but when crazed with whisky, was quarrelsome and dangerous.

WEEKLY MINING REPORT.

Mining matters are looking brighter than last week. Several new and i'm. portant strikes have been made, the de- tails of which we are not permitted to publish. For some reason the greatest reticence is being observed by mine. owners, and it is next to impossible to get at bottom facts. Properties are con. tinually changing hands, and there is an under current which presages great activity in the near future. Exploitation is being actively prosecuted, and the camp is getting down to solid business. Not less than 800 men are employed by the different mines, and yet there is no outward appearance of interest or ex- citement. Yet the feeling of confidence is strengthening, and altogether the out look has not been as bright in three years.
 GRAND CENTRAL M. co.
 There is nothing new to report in the operations of this great corporation. Work on the new shaft and pump house continues with unabated vigor, and the usual amount of ore is going to the mill from the Emerald, State of Maine, Silver Thread, Boss, "S7" and other properties of the company.
 OLD GUARD.
 Work of enlarging the main shaft to a double compartment advances as rapidly as three shifts can effect the same. A large quantity of machinery for the mill is now on the ground, and the grade is nearly completed. The new buildings are going up rapidly. Thirty-fve men are employed.
 GROUND HOG.
 Although this property has only twelve men employed, it has 2,5oo feet of systematic development work, and sufficient quantity of ore in sight to war rant the erection of mill. Twenty-Five thousand dollars worth of ore has been shipped from it. Superintendent Fisher returned from the east last week, and the President of the company is expected here the coming week, when important matters will be decided upon looking to | a vigorous prosecution of the work. | The Ground Hog is considered one of | the best properties in the camp.
 LUCKY cUss. New double-compartment shaft down yenty feet. Three shifts at work. This shaft will tap large ore body al ready developed by drift and wlnze. Recently good body of ore has been | developed in this property. A carload | was shipped this week and another will | be shipped the coming week.
 OMEGA. What is considered an important strike was made in this property yesterday. The drift from the 100 foot station, in 20 feet, encountered body of high grade ore, and the end is not yet.
